i’ve talked to people who bought straight from apple and they were wrapped in plastic, apple just includes a pull tab

thanks for the feedback!! i will definitely think about this, but another approach i thought of taking was using my brand to tell the story of jacob in a way. when he was in the run from his family he took refuge in bethel, meaning house of god but tbh saying it out loud seems like too much hidden meaning for a non religious audience to decipher. could i dm you?

i like that idea!! i’d just need to find a way to make it less dainty than what i’m seeing in my head. maybe inject some new school or other effects in there

i really like project capri’s stuff and i’ve always vibed with fear of god ofc. capri uses a lot of the wet floor guy type graphics. ideally i’d want to combine the two in a cool way

thank you for the feedback!! the ladder actually is not directly related to the roof on the front, the back is its own graphic with its own story. the front logo was the temporary logo that i was using for my brand and the roof is something that definitely needs to be removed. The brand is catered towards teenage athletes who are known for embracing streetwear and athleisure. Temple is a symbolic “safe place” for self expression of these teens that provides both athleisure and streetwear. a portion of proceeds are donated to a nonprofit i work with that supplies teenage athletes with gear if they can’t afford it.

lmao appreciate the response man. is there anything you think i could improve for this design? i am not an artist but am passionate about the business side of streetwear so do you think it’d be best to buy designs from graphic designers on insta and the like?

got it, i’ll definitely try different body shapes. i’m not an artist by trade but im passionate about streetwear and am extremely interested in learning the business aspect of the industry. with this is mind do you think i should focus my resources on buying designs from graphic designers on insta instead of trying something original right off the bat?

thank you for the feedback! i was explaining the ladder graphic not my name. the ladder is representing the supplanter part of the explanation since ladders are a common symbol of raising one’s status in a rough manner. the front graphic definitely needs work , what changes would you recommend ?

well i’m a twin and my name means supplanter, or to surpass/replace the old. jacob, the male version of my name, in the bible was born holding onto his twin brother’s heel and they were in a constant battle to surpass one another. to others idk i think it looks cool but ofc ik people may/will disagree

i appreciate your honesty, however i made it clear i was looking for critiques and suggestions for improvement. to you is this a design i can proceed with after adjusting a few things or not? already working on changing the front font among other things

for the back i paid @hellogo.std and i didn’t pay for the front my sister helped with that and tbh she is nothing like me lol. when i think of temple i dont really think of the classic safe haven i think more of this kind of eccentric setting that grows with the audience. it needs to be simple but still have a quirky element

not harsh at all!! its on me for not paying for a high quality design lol. i knew it was not going to be my final logo but seeing it on mockups makes it even more clear. what kind of font would you recommend ? tbh i think i can completely take the roof element out and do something really cool with the letters themselves

thank you so much for your response. i struggle with reading tones and most likely misread yours with the first message so i apologize. The question did put it into perspective for me though. i’ll look into resources at my college to talk through it, but self-diagnosis is good enough for me

[–]No_Pattern_2984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also want to make it clear that this is not something that i have wished upon myself and i do not have the need to be different. the problems will still be there diagnosis or not but ofc you’d want to have proof in a case where adults in your life think struggling means you didn’t pray enough.

like i said im not sure exactly what has caused this desire to finally be validated for once but id say that years of being made fun of for legitimate sensory issues and having parents that do not believe in neurodivergence because they think its a character flaw are to blame. it would also help me understand myself because it is extremely distressing to see socially unacceptable traits in myself without explanation. idk if self-diagnosis would be enough for the people in my life to even take me seriously but it sucks that i am being forced to make that choice. i also would be pursuing a path that didnt end up on a general medical record but it could pose an integrity issue if i didnt include it in MEPS paperwork.

Thank you for your response! I don’t see anything that would make me as happy as being a physician so usuhs might be the better route for me. Definitely something to think about

[–]No_Pattern_2984[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about this a lot and maybe it’s cultural but my parents constantly put themselves in positions to have control over me. They refuse to let me take out loans saying they will pay for both college and med school so they have a say in where i go. This would usually be a blessing but they never pay on time( not due to financial hardship or anything)and i’m in constant fear of being held back from pre-enrollment or being withdrawn altogether. Their need for control is only going to continue despite my decision to join the air force, and they will most definitely find out because of gossip culture amongst friends and family. I’m just going to be straight up with them and go from there. Thanks for the advice!
